Publisher Description
The time has come for Leman Russ, primarch of the Space Wolves, to fulfil his vow and attempt to stop Warmaster Horus before he breaks through to the Segmentum Solar. In the face of opposition from three of his brother primarchs, Russ withdraws the Space Wolves legion from Terra and makes all haste for Horus’s position. Reports from Malcador the Sigillite’s agents suxggest that Horus is utterly changed, and infused with a diabolical power so great that no man can stand against him. A warrior of Fenris would never willingly abandon his oaths, but with Horus beyond the touch of mortal blades, the Lord of Winter and War may have doomed himself for the sake of honour…

Customer Reviews
The Vlka Fenryka never disappoint
This book was absolutely breathtaking. True sons of Russ will love this book
None better
I am now on my fiftieth Horus Heresy novel. My honest sense is that 2/3 of them are a great deal of writing with very little motion or substance. A few of them seem to accomplish in one volume what six or seven other novels struggle with to less effect.
To my mind, this is, by far, the best book in the HH saga. Russ goes from being the most one-dimensional primarch to the most nuanced, likable, admirable and complex of the lot. There is so much revealed in WOLFSBANE that I could not stop turning the pages. Even the B plot is exceptionally interesting, thoughtful, and well-written.
Guy Haley has crafted a masterpiece here. The greatest compliment I can pay him is that there is not one LAZY paragraph in the entire novel, nor a superfluous one.
It's just a great read.
Finally numbers on the SW legion
Thank you thank you!! Citing the actual number left of remaining Space Wolves was a rare treat. It’s been too long without these awesome kind of facts in recent releases. I still want to know how many White Scars actually remain on Terra to fight Horus.
A truly epic novel. Devoured it in full after buying it. Rich dialog between the primarchs, Malcador and Valdor. Rich historical facts, detailed background and awesome action scenes.
